Hey there! If you landed on this page, you probably want a quick rundown of what we shared in August 2023. We covered three very different topics – a step‑by‑step guide for Indians in Singapore needing a Police Clearance Certificate, a fresh take on the Supreme Court opening up under the RTI Act, and a look back at how India has changed over the past half‑century. Below you’ll find short, practical summaries for each article, so you can jump straight to the info you need.
If you’re an Indian citizen living in Singapore and need a PCC, the process can feel a bit confusing at first. Our guide breaks it down into simple steps: first, gather the core documents – a valid passport, a recent passport‑size photo, and a copy of your Singapore residence permit. Next, head to the Indian High Commission’s official website and download the PCC application form. Fill it out carefully, attach the scanned copies, and pay the fee online (usually around SGD 30). After submission, you’ll receive an acknowledgment email with a reference number. The High Commission typically processes the request within 10‑15 business days, but you can track the status using the reference ID. When the certificate is ready, you’ll get a notification to collect it in person or have it mailed to your Singapore address. Following these steps saves you from back‑and‑forth calls and long waits.
The Supreme Court recently decided to bring its Office of the Chief Justice under the Right to Information Act. In plain terms, this means anyone can request details about the office’s functioning, budget, and internal decisions – no more mystery behind the scenes. The move aims to boost transparency and public trust in the judiciary. Critics argue it could expose sensitive information, but the court assures that any data compromising security will be redacted. For everyday citizens, this change makes it easier to understand how the highest court manages its resources and makes decisions that affect the nation.
India today looks very different from the country of the early 1970s. On the upside, the economy has grown dramatically – GDP per capita is several times higher, and tech hubs like Bangalore make the nation a global player in software and services. Infrastructure has improved too, with modern highways, metros, and a push for renewable energy. However, older problems such as corruption still linger, and new challenges like air pollution and water scarcity are harder to ignore. While many Indians now enjoy better health care, education, and internet access, the gap between urban and rural areas remains wide. In short, we’ve come a long way, but the journey isn’t finished yet.
That’s the gist of our August 2023 archive. Whether you needed a quick guide for a PCC, wanted to know why the Supreme Court’s office is now RTI‑covered, or were curious about India’s progress over fifty years, we’ve got you covered. Feel free to explore each article in depth for more details, and come back later for fresh content on tech, law, and life updates.

Hey folks! Let's take a spicy curry of a dive into the past and present of India, shall we? 50 years back, India was like a young Bollywood hero, full of potential but without a blockbuster hit yet. Fast forward half a century, and it's like the superstar of the South Asian cinema, with booming economy, technological advancements and improved living standards, just like a movie with a happy ending! However, it ain't all Bollywood songs and dances, some old issues like corruption and new ones like pollution are playing the villain part in our plot. So, is India better or worse than 50 years ago? It's like asking if classic Bollywood is better than modern; both have their charms and flaws!
